IND vs AUS: Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has weighed in on Rohit Sharma’s recent struggles, emphasizing that the India captain needs to score runs to regain his confidence and improve his decision-making. Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, Harbhajan remarked that Rohit’s form slump could have an effect on his leadership.
Rohit’s Recent Struggles in Focus
Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has come under scrutiny following his decision to bat under the gloomy Bengaluru skies during the opening Test against New Zealand, which resulted in India’s lowest-ever home total of 46 runs. His recent form also raised concerns after scoring just nine runs across two innings in the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia in Adelaide.
Harbhajan’s Advice to Rohit Sharma
According to Harbhajan Singh, scoring runs could be the solution to Rohit’s challenges. Singh believes that runs would not only boost Sharma’s confidence but also improve his decision-making as a leader.
“As a captain, I would like Rohit Sharma to make runs. When he scores runs, he will think better and do better things. No matter how big a player is, he is always worried about his performance. There is no doubt that when a player scores runs, he makes a better decision. So, let’s hope that Rohit Sharma scores some runs so that his captaincy gets better,” Harbhajan Singh was quoted by Star Sports.
Harbhajan Singh remains optimistic that the India skipper will soon return to form and put runs on the scoreboard to stabilize his captaincy.
